Chapter 356 Speculation

Fang Zilan looked at Mo Han in disbelief, "What did you say?"

"At that time, the capital was in chaos. Miss Qin Xuan was pregnant before marriage, so she lied that Fang Chongbai was the father of the child in her womb, forcing the Fang family to take her in." Mo Han said, "Later, Miss Qin Xuan could not have a son and died of blood collapse. The Fang family was in trouble. Although the child was left, they sent away all the people around Miss Qin Xuan. The nanny I went to look for, her so-called escape from disaster and returning home was actually sent away by the Fang family."

"This is strange." Fang Zilan said in confusion: "Since the nanny has been sent away, how can she learn that Young Master Fang Liren is the son of Miss Qin Xuan?"

"The son of Fang Liren is the son of Miss Qin Xuan, and the nanny also learned about it by chance." Mo Han explained: "The nanny said that a lady from the Fang family found her two years ago and showed her the birth date and horoscope of a person, which happened to be exactly the same as the birth date of Miss Qin Xuan's child. The nanny felt that this was too coincidental, so she took a care and learned the lady's name."

Fang Zilan was stunned, "That lady of the Fang family, could it be Fang Zitong?"

"That's right." Mo Han nodded, and Fang Zilan held his forehead with his hand, "That makes sense. When I was chatting with the Queen in the palace, she also mentioned that Fang Zitong broke into the family ancestral hall in an attempt to steal the family genealogy. At that time, she told me that according to the laws and regulations of the Dajing, the same clan would not be intermarried within three generations. I thought Fang Zitong wanted to cross the name from the family genealogy."

Mo Han chuckled, "Sister Lan, you are really fantastic. You need to invite all the elders of the family to open a ancestral hall to do it. I think Miss Fang Zitong is here to confirm that there is indeed no name for Young Master Fang Liren in the genealogy."

Fang Zilan said curiously: "In this way, the biological father of Young Master Fang Liren is not Fang Chongbai, who would it be?"

Mo Han took a deep breath and lowered his voice and said, "It is said that he is the cousin of Emperor Tai'an, Li Che."

"What did you say?" Fang Zilan suddenly widened her eyes, "It was the one Li Che who took advantage of the chaos to lead his troops to burn, kill, loot and commit all kinds of evil deeds in the capital, and eventually died at the hands of the royal guards?"

"Sister Lan, you said everything. Li Che led his troops to do everything evil." Mo Han's expression darkened a little. "If Miss Qin Xuan fell into his hands, you can imagine what she would experience. The child's father is hard to say."

Fang Zilan remained silent, and Mo Han continued to say to himself, "Since the nanny around Miss Qin Xuan knows what happened, then General Qin Yuzu, who was guarding the capital at that time, could not have known it. I guess he, as Miss Qin Xuan's brother, used the royal guards to kill Li Che in order to avenge..."

"Impossible." Fang Zilan interrupted his words, "The royal guards of the previous dynasty only obey the royal command, and General Qin Yaoji could not be mobilized."

"The Concubine Shu of the previous dynasty." Mo Han looked solemn, "If the Concubine Shu of the previous dynasty used the killing of Li Che as a condition to exchange for the perjury of General Qin's failure to give birth to a woman, do you think it is feasible?"

"I don't know." Fang Zilan's expression was dim and unclear. "I have read the life records of all the last generals of the previous dynasty before. It is logical that General Qin Yuzuo is also extremely loyal to King Pingnan..."

She paused and suddenly remembered something and added: "I remember one of the records that when King Pingnan married Mrs. Qin Ji, General Qin Yu was one of the generals who performed the night watch, and after the wedding ceremony, he invited him to the northern border and left the Qin family. Do you think he knew about the plan of Mrs. Qin and Miss Qin Xuan? That's it..."

She didn't continue to say it, Mo Han nodded and said, "It's very likely."

"But no matter what, General Qin Yui was guarding the capital at that time, and he could not know nothing about Miss Qin Xuan's experience." Fang Zilan frowned slightly, "Since that's the case, why did Qin's family fail to find Miss Qin Xuan and form a bond with the Fang family?"

Mo Han said quietly: "After Emperor Tai'an ascended the throne, he posthumously conferred Li Che, so Qin did not dare to involve Miss Qin Xuan with Li Che, for fear of ruining the life of the entire clan, so he could only take this matter to Fang Chongbai just like what Miss Qin Xuan did. Although Fang Chongbai had long been removed from the Fang family, the Fang family kept silent for the sake of Miss Qin Xuan's decency and was unwilling to bother with Qin, but instead gave them the excuse to bite them."

"The Fang family is getting bigger and bigger, while the Qin family is getting worse." Fang Zilan snorted coldly, " Such a good excuse is cheaper than the Qin family. If I were the head of the Fang family, I would definitely return the child to the Qin family, and I will draw a clear line and no longer have any contact."

"Not to mention whether the Fang family can completely do business, can they have no contact with the Qin family? Just say that the child is innocent, why should he become a chess piece in the game between the two families?" Mo Han sighed: "For a child, he is willing to bear the reputation and hold a grudge. I have to say that the Prime Minister is really admirable."

Fang Zilan frowned even more, "The Fang family has always been profitable. Will the Prime Minister really do such a thing that is not worth the loss?"

"If it weren't for this, what explanation would be for your jade pendant?" Mo Han took out the jade pendant, "No one lies with the jade pendant. It was indeed Miss Qin Xuan's income from the pawn shop."

After saying that, he handed over the jade pendant, and Fang Zilan took it, "If Young Master Fang Liren is the son of Miss Qin Xuan, why is the jade pendant in my hands?"

"I haven't figured this out yet." Mo Han shook his head, "But no matter whether the Prime Minister is your biological father or not, your biological mother will definitely have nothing to do with the generals of the previous dynasty. Besides, in addition to Miss Qin Xuan, a legitimate daughter, there are other women, and maybe there are clues that we have not found."

"Maybe." Fang Zilan looked tired, and Mo Han yawned, "It's getting late. Do we really have to stay overnight after this illness and injury?"

"No need." Fang Zilan slowly stood up, moved her legs and feet, and then helped Mo Han up, "Let's go and go back to the room to rest."

When the two passed by the front hall, they saw the King of Wheels and a few maids and servants cleaning. Fang Zilan reached out and waved the King of Wheels and came to him and whispered: "You are not my servant, why are you doing so seriously?"

The Wheel King smiled, "Tomorrow morning, I will send Mr. Wen away and leave directly."

Upon hearing this, Fang Zilan said in a silence, and had nothing to say until the three of them walked to the backyard that she said to Mo Han: "You go back first, I have something to say to him."

Mo Han's eyes turned around the two of them, then turned around and left. After he left, the King of Wheels said, "What are you going to say to me? If you ask Mr. Wen to relieve the Gu for me..."

"Did you know what would happen on the day I fell into the water before?" Fang Zilan intercepted his words, stopped and looked at him steadily, and said, "Awan told me that you were extremely anxious that day."

Regarding whether to stay up to date—

Mo Han: What about going back to the room to rest?

Fang Zilan: Please leave yours, I'm busy with mine, I can't do nothing to do when I stay up to the New Year~
